During the Qajar and Pahlavi eras, domestic and foreign agents of the structure and the agent underwent fundamental changes, and the mutual influence of the structure and the agent in the structure of the international system caused Iran to face tensions and challenges, and in Iran constantly, always It has caused the need for a third force in the international and even domestic arena during the Qajar and Pahlavi eras. Therefore, the present article tries to answer the question with a descriptive-analytical method, why Iran's foreign policy in the two periods of Qajar and Pahlavi has tended towards the third force? In response to this question, this hypothesis has been presented: From the point of view of Iranian officials in the Qajar and Pahlavi periods, the third force could have played a balancing role in Iran's foreign policy and moderated the Russian and British threats.
